Sometimes Sequels Shouldn't Happen

Pet Sematary Two- should of not happened but it happened. The same director who directed the first one directs this one. Just a fun fact.

The plot: When his mother, Renee (Darlanne Fluegel), dies, young Jeff Matthews (Edward Furlong) moves back to his hometown with his father, Chase (Anthony Edwards). Jeff grows friendly with Drew Gilbert (Jason McGuire) at school, who tells him about the Indian burial grounds that bring people and animals back to life, which led to the deaths of the Creed family who used to live in town. Desperately missing his mom, Jeff ignores warnings and buries her corpse, only to have her return in deadly zombie form.

Is anyone from the first one in this film, probley not. Im guessing not and is a new cast. Does this one even connect or relate to the first one, again probley not. It is its own movie.

I wouldnt reccordmned this movie.

Surprisingly ok

I remember when FD5 was announced (hilariously titled 5nal Destination initially), I was just completely not bothered. After originally being drawn in by the original, and then being subjected to a series of progressively crappier sequels, not even the prospect of sudden ridiculous gore could reel me in.

I finally got round to watching it at home, and in all honesty, FD5 is actually pretty enjoyable! For the first time in ages, we are presented with characters who are relatively likable!
Plot wise, it's all very much the same, although it does spend more time with the cheating-death-by-killing-someone-else idea.

The deaths are pretty creative (that gym scene though) without feeling too over the top like previous installments.

The film ends on an inspired and unexpected twist, which elevates FD5 over it's predecessors, and arguably delivers the best overall movie experience in the series to date!

Contains spoilers, click to show

If you haven't seen the 1988 Child's Play, you'd be surprised by this decent film. If you have seen the original, you may keep looking for comparisons and come up short. There are a few comparisons to the original 1988 movie of the same title. Chucky has been revamped and recast to adhere to a younger generation of horror fans. While I missed Brad Dourif's sinister voice, I enjoyed the new life Mark Hamill brought to the sinister doll we all grew up with. This is a different Chucky, by far. Chucky is comical and slowly grows more and more evil as the movie reels on. But you can't help but feel a little sorry for the little guy. It's basically just bad programming as opposed to an evil soul inhabiting the toy. There are different deaths in the movie. While it's less predictable in comparison to the original, its entertaining to watch and not laggy like most remakes. :)

Gorily average

You can't beat a good old B movie, and VFW certainly has the makings of one, however it's a shame that it's nothing we haven't seen before.

This has a great B movie feel throughout, from the atmospheric soundtrack to the retro and dark cinematography, as well as the ridiculous over the top gore (which is by far the best thing about this film). It has a seriously good old school cast and watching them in action is a lot of fun. This has such a Hobo with a Shotgun vibe that I'm surprised that it hasn't been made by the same people. The biggest problem with this is the plot and the whole idea in general. Films like this have been done so many times before and even with all the gore thrown in it's nothing original. But I suppose overall it is still a fairly entertaining romp with some laugh out loud deaths.
